Liveprofile so fast.. but need more media sharing, group chat

I now using whatsapp, its almost like a bbm
[Android Apps and Games] Nekromantik:
Pingchat is better then whatsapp as you can add people via a username instead if phone number :)

whats the advantage of this over Ping?
[Android Apps and Games] AlexR666:
Ping never really worked for me. This has a really nice UI smileys, facebook integration. Plus ping is a huge battery drain according to my friends on BB.
[Android Apps and Games] Zer0_:
It's way to buggy!!!!! But it has gotten really popular
[Android Apps and Games] Roscopcoletrain:
it seemed to work so much better before they added BB users. Hopefully they continue to improve things and add new features
[Android Apps and Games] LNJ:
Works great for me but updating my profile with a pic took half a day to show up.

But the chats are fast.

Can I use an snes usb controller with a micro adapter to play emulator games? Thanx.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If you have one, try it; though idk if it'd be supported.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvoisine4:
Dont have one asking before I purchase
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Ah, well I personally don't know. Some emulators support extended wired controllers, so I believe it'd work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I'm not sure, but doubt it would work, as the evo doesn't support USB hosting. Heck, you can't even play music through the USB port. What you can do, is use an AOSP rom, and use a wiimote.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Now this definitely works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvoisine4:
That's what I tried first but I don't want to use cm are there any other roms that'd work
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
It only works on AOSP roms, i.e. CM7, evervolf, salvage, ect. It won't work on sense roms.

i read on reviews that the laptop dock has a backlight keyboard, but mine does not. all the other lights work like the mouse pad light and the little caps lock light. is they keyboard supposed to light up?

thanks
[Atrix 4G General] jonny6056:
no, there is no lights for the keyboard keys, only caps and mouse pad light (on and off light) I use mine all the time, thats the only concern i had with it.

unless theres an option that i missed out on somewhere.

Hey everyone... I'm sorta new to rooting. I have a samung epic 4g for sprint. Right now I'm running 2.2 froyo eb13 I just upgraded it. I don't have a computer now cuz it needs to get fixed but I do use my friends mac and occasionally his slow windows xp computer. I know there are apps for rooting your fone without using a pc. Apps such as z4 root ad visionary+ [r14] and universal androot... but I'm having issues with those too.

Z4root- it won't get past a certain screen then it randomly vibrates and slows down my phone drastically. My friend has 2.1 for his vibrant... we both have galaxy s phones. Z4root worked for him within seconds. It won't work for me. Maybe if I downgrade to 2.1 first? Then up to froyo?

VISIONary- it stays on tthe loading screen I can't even temp root it. I tried rebooting the phone nothing works... it slows it down and randomly vibrates like z4root.

Universal androot this is a joke. No matter what I do... "sorry I cannot root your phone :("

My questions are:

1. Is there an easier way to root it, maybe another app I don know about? Or if I can download the root and save it like an update.zip?

2. If not... how can I down grade the rom to 2.1? Can I just download the apk and rename it update.zip and go from there when I put it int recovery mode?

3. If I have no luck with rooting it from my phone how can I root it from a mac without using wndows parallel?

I'm so frustrated.... please help me someone... I've been playing this this stupid fone for days. I seem to have no luckkk :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JJB14:
I am having the exact same issue. I have had Z4 root on my Samsung Epic 4G (sprint) for about 5 months, and it worked wonderfully. Never had any problems. Just yesterday, the long anticipated Froyo (android 2.2) upgrade was pushed out to my phone. Now, the Z4 root will no longer work. In fact, it does exactly what diamondprincessxoo explains that her phone does in the post above. Any suggestions???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] diamondprincessxoo:
What I am trying to do now is download odin and flash my phone to 2.1 to re download eclair. I don't know if once I download it to 2.1 if when I upgrade it back to 2.2 if z4root will still kep my phone rooted. Hopefully it will. I will do more indepth research later. If I am successfuli wat o eventually upgrade it to 2.3 gingerbread.. but my pc is acting up so idk its a challenge fixing that first
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wizky911:
Same problem omg someone help us :(
[Continuum Android Development] adrynalyne:
Ok, so normally I hate placeholders, but I'd like to give you guys an update of where I am at. Once I am finished tweaking, I will release. The base rom is done, now the modding and tweaking needs to happen.

So far:

--------------

Deodexed, Debloated, Debinged, and mostly, detouchwizzed. Debinged...even in the framework. I think* all Bing traces are gone now.

Visual voice mail gone, voice mail button in dialer opens Google Voice.

Verizon Wireless carrier banner replaced with something....better.

MMS app will not longer do multi-part messages, but instead convert to MMS automatically once the 160 character mark is hit.

GPS tweaked.

Wow, I can't wait for this :) even though we have had bad experiences with place holders, I know this isn't the case :P lol..

I don't know how many times I'm going to say thank you, but here is another :P thanks!
[Continuum Android Development] spearoid:
along the lines of changes to the voicemail button.....it would be awesome if the ticker's voicemail icon could correspond to Google Voice...but I am sure that is a lot more involved than changing the button's link in the Dialer.

a similar desire exists for the sms icon to correspond to Handcent

I used titanium backup to remove the stock messaging app and that killed the ticker's SMS icon functionality....I saved the stock app to reinstall but that introduces a different problem....the ticker icon doesn't go away reliably after having read the text in Handcent.

maybe this thread wasn't intended for our wish list items.....if that is the case, I apologize.

thanks for your help to our little Continuum family!
[Continuum Android Development] mrjake1970:
thanks for the help here adryn! my wife has the continuum, and i got hers to load red recovery, and the other modded rom.

question on this rom you are building..will it have the bstats and fxpms scripts? are the ones for fascinate compatable with contunuum?

thanks...

[Continuum Android Development] ExNukeSquid:
It was all but abandoned. Glad to see some progression! :D

Also, I saw some news on 2.3 leaks for SGS phones, do you have any info on this adrynalyne? Like a I400 leak perhaps... /lookleft /lookright
[Continuum Android Development] c_live_lee:
:D Sweet! Looking forward to seeing where this may go!
[Continuum Android Development] nitsuj17:
the gingerbread leaks are only for gsm galaxy s phones...no help for the epic or fascinate/continuum

even our (fascinate) 2.2 cant be directly flashed without issues...but whether or not adryn can put together some kinda hybrid rom...idk we ll see :o
[Continuum Android Development] Gibson99:
curious (warning - n00b question) - would it be possible to make the GV VM connection optional for those of us who don't use GV?

Also, what do you mean by GPS tweaked? The only thing i've noticed about mine is when i'm out geocaching with c:geo or using google maps to navigate while walking, sometimes the compass seems to be off by 180 degrees. when driving, google nav seems fine - likely since it can figure out direction based on previous locations in the same way it figures speed, but i don't walk fast enough for it to figure out direction - especially when geocaching since i'm always stopping to look for the cache.

all told - that's pretty impressive that you knocked out so much stuff in the short time you have had the phone! Thanks for your help with this device!

Any chance you have cracked open the ticker, or at least made it more useful to people who don't use the stock apps (that is... EVERYONE)?

One suggestion i saw somewhere (probably here) really interested me - put the notification area in the ticker screen and make it big enough to fill it, so you dont' have to try and hook into their custom ticker app - just use the existing system one, only relocated/resized. that way all system notifications (no matter what app they're from) will be visible in the ticker, all the time, as well as the time of day, and apps won't have to be custom-written to take advantage of the ticker; they'd just WORK.

[Continuum Android Development] DroidXcon:
yes this is normal for now
[Continuum Android Development] Gibson99:
shoot - as long as it doesn't affect anything else, i'd take that over the annoying, noisy crap vzw put on there. is the shutdown screen also black/silent?
[Continuum Android Development] c_live_lee:
I don't have the phone right here handy atm but, I've already downloaded the Rom and alt browser. looking forward to flashing it to my boy's phone! I know he'll be happy too. :) One thing I love about these Android phones is how they give us the ability to have that "new phone" feeling any time we like, thanks to their rich development community. This is one thing the Continuum crowd has missed out on until now.
[Continuum Android Development] tazzstrike:
it will load the samsung logo then go black but you will still hear the music and then the phone vibrate as it loads.

I do have a question i install my rom sent emails to myself and what not i do not get the email on my ticker. I have use the patch for email and the soical app update from the old d17 clean but it still doesn't show up any ideas? And since there is no boot screen any more is there a app or a mod that i can use to add one?

Thanks For reading
[Continuum Android Development] mrjake1970:
thanks for thia adryn!

wife has been running this for about a week. works well and looking forward to some fixes/mods...

bugs she noticed:

- browser crash (known issue)

- ticker links broken because of browser issue

- some internet apps (such as weatherbug) are very slow to open

mods humbly requested:

- shutdown menu to have recovery/restart options

rock on!

this super clean continuum rom is a 2.1 or 2.2????

[Continuum Android Development] tazzstrike:
any ideas of when we will see the next release
[Continuum Android Development] sytech55:
You're kidding me, right? Devs here have worked and delivered a nice CLEAN ROM.

I'm hoping you're talking about Froyo.
[Continuum Android Development] tazzstrike:
According to the download info this is a beta release. And there are some bugs but all in all it is great
[Continuum Android Development] ExNukeSquid:
I share tazz's sentiments. If they were to stop at just a "clean ROM" beta, we wouldnt have things with multiple revisions like CM7. Not to downplay what has been produced since it is leaps and bounds from what we had a month or so ago, but development is never ending as long as there is a desire for it. If Ford stopped at their first operational vehicle, we would hearing about the 2011 Model A. Lol, picture the advertising "The old design is just fine!"

I hope to see this phone closer to its brother development wise or at least with a Froyo ROM sometime before I trade it for a non-Scamsung phone (sad that we have to rely on devs for it). Keep up the great work guys!
[Continuum Android Development] sytech55:
Well put Tazz.. and ExNuke...

This latest ROM is great and I know it has some glitches but to me it's much better than the stock from verizon.

I was just trying to give kudos to these guys that have produced quick and great ROM so quickly. My experience in these phones is only a few months since I just got my first android phone (Continuum) in January and I'm amazed at how quick it's morphed into what I have now. Excellent.
[Continuum Android Development] joeld82:
Hows it going people? I haven't seen too much activity in this section for a while. My wife has a continuum and she's really excited to download the finished product. Happy cooking guys ;-)
[Continuum Android Development] joeld82:
WTF!? Did everyone just give up on this phone?
[Continuum Android Development] samuelhadams:
Rather than putting effort into Android 2.1, developers are waiting until we get a 2.2 update (which is probable). If we do in fact get the update, development should resume.
[Continuum Android Development] joeld82:
The update is more than welcome but my family is never buying a samsung device again.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bailout:
Hey, this is my first post on this forum. Just rooted my 2.2 Incredible tonight using Unrevoked3 on my Macbook. Everything was fine. I had RomManager and wanted to get Cyanogen, but I wanted to back up my apps first just in case. So I ran Titanium Backup. I wasn't sure how to do it, so I went to Menu>More>Create "update.zip". The phone started doing something, then it said it failed to create update and then the phone went dead. Tried powering back on, got to HTC Incredible screen, then screen went black and phone did 5 quick vibrations back to back and the green "new message" indicator light started blinking like I had a new email or something.

Tried powering back on, but nothing happened. Pulled battery, put it back, still nothing. Had to pull battery, plug phone into computer, put battery back in and then it powered on. Tried a Reboot, but that didn't do anything. Tried re-running unrevoked3, but it won't do anything because now my phone can't find any SD card or internal memory. Both are just grayed out. So even though my phone has 8gig internal and an 8gig external SD card in it, it's not showing either. I can't load a new ROM because it needs the SD card. I put the SD card into my computer and it shows all of my stuff on there, so the card isn't corrupted. Thoughts?? Help! TIA.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caperi:
Here's my 4 hour journey...

I tried rooting my Evo using AutoRoot v2.4 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838448 I would post there but I don't have permissions, plus my problem seems more general at this point anyway). I followed all of the instructions (I'm running Android 2.2 with 3.70.651.1). At first, it was telling me that it was unable to root. After trying a couple things (such as killing all running processes), I used an RUU of 3.70.651.1 (http://www.multiupload.com/W679R1W391). I ran AutoRoot again, and this time it told me Root was successful and took me to the bootloader screen. As it did this, the AutoRoot DOS window just disappeared. I rebooted and tried a few more times, same result.

Here's where I'm not quite sure what I did. I think the next thing was I went into Recovery from bootloader, didn't really know what I was doing, and did a battery pull. Then I tried to factory reset by going bootloader -> clear storage. When I went to try and run AutoRoot again, my computer wasn't recognizing my Evo (I guess restoring the Evo caused it to lose the drivers?). When I plugged it in, it briefly searched for several "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" drivers (weird, never saw it look for those before when I plugged in my Evo?), asked me if I had a disk that came with the hardware, and when I said no it told me it couldn't find the drivers.

So basically my computer doesn't seem to recognize my Evo anymore even though it seems to be at its factory original stock settings. To top it off, it now seems to be stuck in a continuous reboot cycle every couple minutes or so (the worst that's ever happened to me before was semi-random restarts, maybe a couple times per week). I tried doing a factory reset by doing bootloader -> recovery -> menu -> factory reset but that didn't do anything. And I don't think it's charging anymore, considering that the battery is slowly getting lower and lower even though the orange light goes on when it's plugged in (though maybe it's just losing more battery than its gaining through all this restarting). At this point all I want is to get out of this continuous reboot cycle that I've spent the last couple hours trying to look for solutions for, with no luck. Much less re-customize my phone to how it was pre-restore and much less actually get through rooting it... Any help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
First re-run your RUU.

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install ; download the modified hboot drivers

http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ ; download unrevoked

Make sure to have installed, then uninstall htc sync on your computer, and that usb debugging is enabled on your phone. Then run unrevoked and you should be good to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caperi:
"First re-run your RUU."

But my PC isn't recognizing my Evo, I guess because something is wrong with the drivers? I tried running the RUU and it said Error [170]: USB Connection Error.

I could probably do it via another phone, but I won't have access to that until tomorrow; is that the only way?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well, you can take the battery out, remove the sdcard, the mount it to your computer via micro usb adapater.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caperi:
Don't have one of those, but even if I did (or got the files on there via another phone), wouldn't the fact that it won't recognize the sdcard be a problem when trying to get it to apply the update?

The battery is starting to get really low (about 10%), I think it's not recognizing the charger :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Then what you could do is copy the files on the sdcard to the pc, then re-format it from there, then place the files on it, and stick it on the charger asap.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RileyGrant:
This link to recover sd card and usb:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695243

Then let charge, use external wall charger if needed. If you have to buy one, its like 5 or 10 bucks and its better then having to buy a whole new phone.

Then, download the PC36IMG.zip (RUU in zip form), place on root of sd card, boot into bootloader, let it scan, when it asks if you want to run the update, say yes. Bada bing bada boom, your up and running. Then go download Unrevoked, its easier if your not completely sure what your doing, plus it has a nice and pretty UI that you cant possibly screw up and 5 minutes later your completely rooted, simple as that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caperi:
Pardon me if I'm misunderstanding, but what I'm seeing from your post is that to fix the sd card issue I need to fix the usb issue, to fix the usb issue i need to get root, and to get root i need to fix the sd card issue? Haha, yeah I lost you somewhere along the way...

@teh roxxorz - You're saying that the sd card issue should be fixed if I reformat the SD card on my PC? If so, that's what I'm going to try tomorrow when I have that other phone I can use.
